Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

Computes the pdf, cdf, quantile, and random numbers, draws the q-q plot, and estimates the parameters of the truncated-exponential skew-symmetric G distribution. General form for the probability density function (pdf) of the truncated-exponential skew-symmetric G distribution due to Nadarajah et al. (2014) is given by

f(x,{Θ}) = \frac{a}{{1 - {e^{ - a}}}}g(x-μ,θ ){e^{ - aG(x-μ,θ )}},

where θ is the baseline family parameter vector. Also, a>0 and μ are the extra parameters induced to the baseline cumulative distribution function (cdf) G whose pdf is g. The general form for the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the truncated-exponential skew-symmetric G distribution is given by

F(x,{Θ}) = \frac{{1 - {e^{ - aG(x-μ,θ )}}}}{{1 - {e^{ - a}}}}.

Here, the baseline G refers to the cdf of famous families such as: Birnbaum-Saunders, Burr type XII, Exponential, Chen, Chisquare, F, Frechet, Gamma, Gompertz, Linear failure rate (lfr), Log-normal, Log-logistic, Lomax, Rayleigh, and Weibull. The parameter vector is Θ=(a,θ,μ) where θ is the baseline G family's parameter space. If θ consists of the shape and scale parameters, the last component of θ is the scale parameter. Always, the location parameter μ is placed in the last component of Θ.

`g`	The name of family's pdf including: "`birnbaum-saunders`", "`burrxii`", "`chisq`", "`chen`", "`exp`", "`f`", "`frechet`", "`gamma`", "`gompetrz`", "`lfr`", "`log-normal`", "`log-logistic`", "`lomax`", "`rayleigh`", and "`weibull`".
`p`	a vector of value(s) between 0 and 1 at which the quantile needs to be computed.
`n`	number of realizations to be generated.
`mydata`	Vector of observations.
`param`	parameter vector Θ=(a,θ,μ)
`location`	If `FALSE`, then the location parameter will be omitted.
`log`	If `TRUE`, then log(pdf) is returned.
`log.p`	If `TRUE`, then log(cdf) is returned and quantile is computed for `exp(-p)`.
`lower.tail`	If `FALSE`, then `1-cdf` is returned and quantile is computed for `1-p`.
`method`	The used method for maximizing the sum of log-spacing function. It will be "`BFGS`", "`CG`", "`L-BFGS-B`", "`Nelder-Mead`", or "`SANN`".
`sig.level`	Significance level for the Chi-square goodness-of-fit test.

It can be shown that the Moran's statistic follows a normal distribution. Also, a chi-square approximation exists for small samples whose mean and variance approximately are m(log(m)+0.57722)-0.5-1/(12m) and m(π^2/6-1)-0.5-1/(6m), respectively, with m=n+1, see Cheng and Stephens (1989). So, a hypothesis tesing can be constructed based on a sample of n independent realizations at the given significance level, indicated in above as sig.level.

A vector of the same length as mydata, giving the pdf values computed at mydata.
A vector of the same length as mydata, giving the cdf values computed at mydata.
A vector of the same length as p, giving the quantile values computed at p.
A vector of the same length as n, giving the random numbers realizations.
A sequence of goodness-of-fit statistics such as: Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Consistent Akaike Information Criterion (CAIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Hannan-Quinn information criterion (HQIC), Cramer-von Misses statistic (CM), Anderson Darling statistic (AD), log-likelihood statistic (log), and Moran's statistic (M). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test statistic and corresponding p-value. The Chi-square test statistic, critical upper tail Chi-square distribution, related p-value, and the convergence status.
